Finding the Next iPhone Hack Could Net You £1 Million

Cracking the iPhone might be harder these days, but that only makes it more valuable. And to be clear, we aren't talking about breaking the screen; that's quite easy. On Thursday, exploit vendor Zerodium announced that it was tripling its bounty for a zero-day hack of Apple’s iOS 10, offering a new maximum payout of $1.5 million (£1.15m).

To claim the prize, Zerodium is asking for a previously undocumented security flaw that enables remote jailbreaking of the mobile platform. According to founder Chaouki Bekrar, the company is prepared to buy multiple hacks at that price.
